Lead with purpose. Deliver with style. Welcome to The Mez Club.

The Mez Club is looking for a high-performing Restaurant Manager to take the reins of our iconic Byron Bay venue. With a strong reputation for amazing food, creative cocktails, and friendly yet professional service, we’re after someone who can continue to drive the standard and raise it even further.

You’ll have full autonomy over day-to-day operations, with support from owners who are involved in growing the business but never micromanage. You run the venue, lead the team, and drive performance.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves the rhythm of a busy venue, and knows how to balance high performance with genuine hospitality.

We cap hours at an average of 40 per week because we believe great managers lead better when they’re not burned out. But when you're on, you're on — focused, engaged, and fully in charge.

What we’re looking for

A leader with a strong floor presence who sets the pace and tone for the team

Proven ability to manage financials: wage control, COGS, and overall profitability

Someone who understands that great service and a strong bottom line go hand in hand

You'll be rewarded for strong financial performance with profit share bonuses

Confident managing a team in high-volume, high-expectation environments

Emotionally intelligent, calm under pressure, and focused on solutions

What you bring

Previous experience managing a busy, high-quality restaurant or bar

A natural leadership style that earns respect without ego

Strong organisational skills and attention to detail

Confidence with systems, stock management, rostering, and compliance

A sharp eye for service standards and a genuine love for hospitality

The ability to coach, support, and get the best from your team

What’s on offer

$100,000 base salary + superannuation

Profit share bonus structure

Average 40-hour work week

Iconic Byron Bay location

A high-performing team with a strong culture

A venue you’ll be proud to lead

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. Join a committed team that takes pride in great hospitality.
